More Favorite Songs

"Nothing But the Blood" by Matt Redman
(This song is not exactly seeker-sensitive or anything on a Sunday morning at church but it is very meaningful and so powerful.)

Your blood speaks a better word
Than all the empty claims
I've heard upon this earth
Speaks righteousness for me
And stands in my defense
Jesus it's Your blood

[Chorus]
What can wash away our sins?
What can make us whole again?
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can wash us pure as snow?
Welcomed as the friends of God
Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood
King Jesus

Your cross testifies in grace
Tells of the Father's heart
to make a way for us
Now boldly we approach
Not by earthly confidence
It's only Your blood

[Chorus]
We thank You for the blood
We thank You for the blood
We praise You for the blood
We praise You for the blood
Nothing but Your blood
Nothing but Your blood
King Jesus

"Let My Words Be Few" by Matt Redman

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus I am so in love with You

And I'll stand in awe of You
Yes I'll stand in awe of You
And I'll let my words be few
Jesus I am so in love with You

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus I am so in love with You
